DO NOT PUBLISH — Stale Event

This article cannot be published. The Spring 2026 Commencement ceremony occurred on May 14, 2026—nearly a month before the proposed publication date of June 13, 2026. The source material announces Jessica Alphin as keynote speaker for an event that has already concluded.

To be publishable, this story would require reporting on what actually happened: ceremony details, attendance figures, graduate statistics, or content from Alphin's address. A post-event recap is viable news. An announcement of a past event is not.

Recommendation: Do not publish. If you have reporting on the ceremony itself, submit a new article with those details.
